PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although financial turmoil in Pacific Basin countries was a catalyst
for significant volatility in U.S. markets in late October and into
November, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index has risen more than 31%
year-to-date, almost three times its historical annual average.
Meanwhile, bond markets - primarily influenced by a relatively steady
flow of positive news on the inflation front - continued to post solid
returns through the first 11 months of 1997.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual
percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance. The initial offering of Class A shares
took place on September 3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee
that is reflected in returns after September 3, 1996. Returns between
September 10, 1992 (the date Class T shares were first offered) and
September 3, 1996 are those of Class T shares and reflect Class T
shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to September 10, 1992 are those
of the Institutional Class, the original class of the fund. Had Class
A shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to September 10,
1992 would have been lower. Effective August 1, 1997, the maximum
3.25% sales charge on Class A shares was increased to 3.75%. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns
and dividends would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10
years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare Class A's returns to those of the Lehman
Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total return performance
benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities between
one and 17 years. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the intermediate municipal
debt funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds
with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
The past one year average represents a peer group of 141 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Class A on November 30, 1987, and the current maximum 3.75% sales
charge was paid. As the chart shows, by November 30, 1997, the value
of the investment would have grown to $18,408 - an 84.08% increase on
the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the performance of the
investment-grade municipal bond market, did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $22,783 - a 127.83% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return and yield of a fund that
invests in bonds will vary. That
means if you sell your shares
during a market downturn, you
might lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

amount paid by the class to shareholders as capital gain distributions
and changes in the class' share price. Both returns assume the
dividends or capital gains paid by the class are reinvested, if any,
and exclude the effect of sales charges.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average net asset
value of $10.56 over the past one month, $10.51 over the past six
months and $10.40 over the past one year, you can compare the class'
income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period.
It also helps you to compare funds from different companies on an
equal basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the
yield includes the effect of Class A's maximum 3.75% sales charge. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in the 36%
federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would have
been 3.61% and 5.64%, respectively.

had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns and
dividends would have been lower.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Class T on November 30, 1987, and the current maximum 2.75% sales
charge was paid. As the chart shows, by November 30, 1997, the value
of the investment would have grown to $18,558 - an 85.58% increase on
the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the performance of the
investment-grade municipal bond market, did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $22,783 - a 127.83% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return and yield of a fund that
invests in bonds will vary. That
means if you sell your shares
during a market downturn, you
might lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

TOTAL RETURN COMPONENTS include both dividend returns and capital
appreciation returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends
paid by the class. A capital appreciation return reflects both the
amount paid by the class to shareholders as capital gain distributions
and changes in the class' share price. Both returns assume the
dividends or capital gains paid by the class are reinvested, if any,
and exclude the effect of sales charges.

30-DAY ANNUALIZED YIELD 3.63% - -
30-DAY ANNUALIZED TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD 5.67% - -
</TABLE>
DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average net asset
value of $10.56 over the past one month, $10.51 over the past six
months and $10.41 over the past one year, you can compare the class'
income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period.
It also helps you to compare funds from different companies on an
equal basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the
yield includes the effect of Class T's maximum 2.75% sales charge. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in the 36%
federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would have
been 3.59% and 5.61%, respectively.
ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS B
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual
percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance.
The initial offering of Class B shares took place on June 30, 1994.
Class B shares bear a 0.90% 12b-1/shareholder service fee (1.00% prior
to January 1, 1996) that is reflected in returns after June 30, 1994.
Returns between September 10, 1992 (the date Class T shares were first
offered) and June 30, 1994 are those of Class T shares and reflect
Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to September 10, 1992
are those of Institutional Class, the original class of the fund. Had
Class B shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to June 30,
1994 would have been lower. Class B shares' contingent deferred sales
charges included in the past one year, past five years and past 10
years total return figures are 3%, 0% and 0%, respectively. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns
and dividends would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10
years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare Class B's returns to those of the Lehman
Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total return performance
benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities between
one and 17 years. To measure how Class B's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the intermediate municipal
debt funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds
with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
The past one year average represents a peer group of 141 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Class B on November 30, 1987. As the chart shows, by November 30,
1997, the value of the investment would have been $18,622 - an 86.22%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the performance
of the investment-grade municipal bond market, did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 would have grown to $22,783 - a 127.83% increase.

amount paid by the class to shareholders as capital gain distributions
and changes in the class' share price. Both returns assume the
dividends or capital gains paid by the class are reinvested, if any,
and exclude the effect of sales charges.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average net asset
value of $10.56 over the past one month, $10.51 over the past six
months and $10.40 over the past one year, you can compare the class'
income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It
also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the yield
excludes the effect of Class B's contingent deferred sales charge. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in the 36%
federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS C
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual
percentage change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance.
The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November 3, 1997.
Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1/shareholder service fee that is
reflected in returns after November 3, 1997. Returns between June 30,
1994 and November 3, 1997 are those of Class B shares and reflect
Class B shares' 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to January 1, 1996).
Returns between September 10, 1992 (the date Class T shares were first
offered) and June 30, 1994 are those of Class T shares and reflect
Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to September 10, 1992
are those of Institutional Class, the original class of the fund. Had
Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3,
1997 would have been lower. Class C's contingent deferred sales
charges included in the past one year total return figure is 1.00%. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns
and dividends would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class C's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10
years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare Class C's returns to those of the Lehman
Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total return performance
benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities between
one and 17 years. To measure how Class C's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the intermediate municipal
debt funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds
with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
The past one year average represents a peer group of 141 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

30-DAY ANNUALIZED TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD -
DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. The annualized dividend rate is based on an average net asset
value of $10.56 over the life of the class. The 30-day annualized
YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the
bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows
you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of
the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have
to earn on a taxable investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if
you're in the 36% federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of
the federal alternative minimum tax, if applicable. Yield information
will be reported once Class C has a longer, more stable, operating
history.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
With investor sentiment, shifting supply/
demand conditions and Federal
Reserve Board policymaking playing
key roles, municipal bonds performed
more or less in line with their taxable
counterparts for the 12 months that
ended November 30, 1997. The
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
municipal bond market - returned
7.17%, while the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a barometer
of the taxable bond market - returned
7.55%. Through much of the first half
of the period, the supply/demand
scenario within the muni market was
favorable: low supply and high
demand that led to rising municipal
bond prices. The second half,
however, saw a large amount of new
issuance come to market, and while
demand remained strong, it took time
for investors to become acclimated to
this new supply. In the interim, muni
bond prices fell. The cold months of
winter contrasted with what many felt
was an overheating economy ripe for
an inflation appearance. In late March,
the Federal Reserve Board raised a
key short-term interest rate by 0.25%.
While this move was anticipated by
investors, the market nonetheless
reacted negatively. From April through
mid-September, market conditions
were more friendly. Favorable
economic data soothed inflationary
concerns, while the Fed's reluctance
to raise rates further was another
positive influence. High supply and
low demand resulted in a sub-par
performance for muni bonds in
September and October, but Asian
volatility toward the end of the period
changed momentum. Currency
devaluations meant prices of Asian
goods would become cheaper, further
decreasing the likelihood of inflation.
An interview with David Murphy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DAVID?
A. For the 12-month period that ended November 30, 1997, the fund's
Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares had total returns of
6.42%, 6.21%, 5.54%, and 5.54%, respectively. To get a sense of how
the fund did relative to its competitors, the intermediate municipal
debt funds average returned 5.50% for the same 12-month period,
according to Lipper Analytical Services. Additionally, the Lehman
Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index returned 6.45% for the same
one-year period.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY?
A. In terms of the way the fund's investments were allocated among
bonds with various maturities, I focused on bonds with maturities
between five and 12 years. I did that because the municipal yield
curve - which is a graphical representation of the yield of
intermediate-term bonds by ascending maturity dates - was flatter
beyond 12 years. Up to about a 12-year maturity, an investor was paid
an appropriate amount of added income for each additional year of
maturity. It is this additional income that compensates the investor
for the added risk taken on by investing in the longer-maturity part
of the intermediate market. But for bonds with maturities of 12 years
or longer, the extra income for each successive year was, in my
opinion, less attractive given the level of risk inherent in
longer-term bonds. Another key strategy was that I kept the fund's
duration, which measures its sensitivity to changing interest rates,
neutral relative to the Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond
Index. By doing so, the fund avoids getting whipsawed by becoming
bullish or bearish about the direction of interest rates at the wrong
time.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FUND'S BEST PERFORMERS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund's holdings in bonds issued in the state of New York were
winners. The state's finances improved, driven in part by the strength
of the securities industry, an important contributor to New York's tax
revenues. In recognition of this improvement, Standard & Poor's - one
of the municipal bond credit rating agencies - upgraded the credit
rating of some of the state's agencies, which was a positive
development for the prices of the fund's agency holdings. Likewise,
general obligation bonds issued by New York City also performed well
as the city's economy continued to expand. Additionally, bonds issued
by the Massachusetts Industrial Finance Agency on
behalf of Massachusetts Biomedical Research Corp. rose in value
because more investors became better-informed about its positive
financial performance.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The return from one of the fund's student loan bonds was
disappointing when prepayments - which rise as borrowers pay back
their loans early - came in a little bit higher than expected.
However, I continued to maintain a fairly heavy weighting in these
bonds because they generally offer attractive yields. With input from
Fidelity's research team, I try to pick student loan bonds that I
think will be prepaid more slowly.
Q. DURING THE PAST YEAR, THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE FUND'S ELECTRIC
UTILITY REVENUE POSITION. GIVEN THAT THE ELECTRIC INDUSTRY IS UNDER
PRESSURE FROM THE THREAT OF INCREASED COMPETITION, WHAT FACTORS DO YOU
LOOK FOR WHEN SELECTING THESE BONDS?
A. The electric utility industry is in the early stages of a
transformation from an environment where electric providers enjoy
monopolistic strongholds on a given service area to one where
competition will reign. With that in mind, I have focused on two types
of electric utilities: those that are well-prepared to deal with
increased competition; or those that I believe can meet competitive
challenges down the road but have been severely and unduly penalized
by the market today because of uncertainty surrounding future
deregulation.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. During the past several years, the amount of outstanding municipal
bonds has shrunk considerably. In the first half of 1997, the low
supply helped the municipal market outperform the taxable bond market.
I expect supply will increase next year. The question is, will there
be enough demand to digest that supply? In my view, that will depend
on how investors perceive the attractiveness of municipals relative to
other fixed-income alternatives and especially to equity investments.

DAVID MURPHY ON MUNICIPAL
BOND SUPPLY:
"THE SUPPLY OF MUNICIPAL BONDS IS AN
IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THEIR
PERFORMANCE. DURING THE PAST SIX
MONTHS, INTEREST RATES HAVE DECLINED
FAIRLY SIGNIFICANTLY. FALLING INTEREST
RATES PROMPTED MUNICIPAL BOND
ISSUERS TO REFUND, OR REFINANCE,
THEIR OLDER DEBT AT CURRENT LOW
INTEREST RATES, MUCH IN THE SAME
FASHION THAT HOMEOWNERS REFINANCE
THEIR MORTGAGES WHEN THEY SEE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO LOWER THEIR INTEREST
COSTS. AS A RESULT OF A RECENT INCREASE
IN THE SUPPLY OF MUNICIPAL BONDS,
THEIR PRICES TENDED TO LAG U.S.
TREASURIES DURING THE FINAL MONTHS
OF THE PERIOD. IF INTEREST RATES STAY AT
CURRENT LOW LEVELS, OR FALL FURTHER, I
THINK THAT THE SUPPLY OF ISSUED
MUNICIPAL BONDS WILL CONTINUE TO
EXPAND, PERHAPS DRAMATICALLY. THIS
WOULD, IN MY OPINION, LEAD TO FURTHER
UNDERPERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO U.S.
TREASURIES. BUT IF THERE IS A
SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN THE U.S. STOCK
MARKET, MORE INVESTMENT DOLLARS
COULD BE RE-ALLOCATED TO MUNICIPAL
BONDS."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1997
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund(the fund) is a
fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VI(the trust) and is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its
distribution plan. The fund commenced sale of Class C shares on
November 3, 1997. Interest income, realized and unrealized capital
gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain
fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata
basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to
the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares differs in its
respective distribution, transfer agent, registration, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which permit management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/ or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the, trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
between the funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are borne by Class C and amortized over
one year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends
and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for futures transactions, capital loss carryforwards and
losses deferred due to futures. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in
the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund may invest in the
Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by FMR Texas Inc.,
an affiliate of (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in high-quality, short-term
municipal securities of various states and municipalities. Income
distributions from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions received by the fund
are recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial
statements.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying
securities is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market values of the securities purchased on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in
the purchase of a when-issued security. With respect to purchase
commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its
custodial records with a value at least equal to the amount of the
commitment. The payables and receivables
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES - CONTINUED
associated with the purchases and sales of when-issued securities
having the same settlement date and broker are offset. When-issued
securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers
are reflected as both payables and receivables in the statement of
assets and liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses
may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying
securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract,
or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political,
economic, or other factors.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates .
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess
of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open
futures contracts at period end is shown in the schedule of
investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under
the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration
or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at
the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $11,608,485 and $22,805,234, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $11,482,118 and $10,292,684, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect

the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .15%
CLASS T .25%
CLASS B .90%*
CLASS C 1.00%**
* .65% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A

selling Class A shares (3.25% prior to August 1, 1997), and 2.75% for
selling Class T shares of the fund, respectively. FDC receives the
proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class B share
redemptions occurring within three years of purchase and Class C share
redemptions occuring within one year of purchase. Contingent deferred
sales charges are based on declining rates ranging from 3% to 1% for
Class B and 1% for Class C, of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains.

the transfer of all of the assets and the assumption of all of the
liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income
Fund in exchange solely for the number of shares of Class A, Class T,

value as the outstanding shares of Class A, Class T, and Institutional
Class of Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund as
of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, on the day
that the Reorganization is effective. The Reorganization can be
consummated only if, among other things, it is approved by the vote of
a majority (as defined by the 1940 Act) of outstanding voting
securities of Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income
Fund. A Special Meeting of Shareholders ("Meeting") of Fidelity
Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund will be held on May

Reorganization is expected to become effective on or about May 28,
1998.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VI and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities
of Fidelity Advisor Series VI: Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal
Income Fund, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of
November 30, 1997, and the related statement of operations for the
year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights of
Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T, and Institutional Class for each
of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 1997 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Fidelity Advisor Series VI: Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund as of November 30, 1997, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although financial turmoil in Pacific Basin countries was a catalyst
for significant volatility in U.S. markets in late October and into
November, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index has risen more than 31%
year-to-date, almost three times its historical annual average.
Meanwhile, bond markets - primarily influenced by a relatively steady
flow of positive news on the inflation front - continued to post solid
returns through the first 11 months of 1997.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual
percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain
class expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL DEBT FUNDS AVERAGE 5.50% 34.65% 99.90%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare Institutional Class' returns to
those of the Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total
return performance benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with
maturities between one and 17 years. To measure how Institutional
Class' performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the intermediate municipal debt funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. The past one year average represents a peer
group of 141 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Institutional Class on November 30, 1987. As the chart shows, by
November 30, 1997, the value of the investment would have grown to
$19,339 - a 93.39% increase on the initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which reflects
the performance of the investment-grade bond market, did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $22,783 - a 127.83% increase.

value of $10.56 over the past one month, $10.51 over the past six
months and $10.40 over the past one year, you can compare the class'
income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It
also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis. The tax- equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on
a taxable investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in
the 36% federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the
federal alternative minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain class expenses, the yield and tax-equivalent yield
would have been 3.96% and 6.19%, respectively.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
With investor sentiment, shifting supply/
demand conditions and Federal
Reserve Board policymaking playing
key roles, municipal bonds performed
more or less in line with their taxable
counterparts for the 12 months that
ended November 30, 1997. The
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
municipal bond market - returned
7.17%, while the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a barometer
of the taxable bond market - returned
7.55%. Through much of the first half
of the period, the supply/demand
scenario within the muni market was
favorable: low supply and high
demand that led to rising municipal
bond prices. The second half,
however, saw a large amount of new
issuance come to market, and while
demand remained strong, it took time
for investors to become acclimated to
this new supply. In the interim, muni
bond prices fell. The cold months of
winter contrasted with what many felt
was an overheating economy ripe for
an inflation appearance. In late March,
the Federal Reserve Board raised a
key short-term interest rate by 0.25%.
While this move was anticipated by
investors, the market nonetheless
reacted negatively. From April through
mid-September, market conditions
were more friendly. Favorable
economic data soothed inflationary
concerns, while the Fed's reluctance
to raise rates further was another
positive influence. High supply and
low demand resulted in a sub-par
performance for muni bonds in
September and October, but Asian
volatility toward the end of the period
changed momentum. Currency
devaluations meant prices of Asian
goods would become cheaper, further
decreasing the likelihood of inflation.
An interview with David Murphy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DAVID?
A. For the 12-month period that ended November 30, 1997, the fund's
Institutional Class shares had a total return of 6.48%. To get a sense
of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the intermediate
municipal debt funds average returned 5.50% for the same 12-month
period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. Additionally, the
Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index returned 6.45% for the
same one-year period.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY?
A. In terms of the way the fund's investments were allocated among
bonds with various maturities, I focused on bonds with maturities
between five and 12 years. I did that because the municipal yield
curve - which is a graphical representation of the yield of
intermediate-term bonds by ascending maturity dates - was flatter
beyond 12 years. Up to about a 12-year maturity, an
investor was paid an appropriate amount of added income for each
additional year of maturity. It is this additional income that
compensates the investor for the added risk taken on by investing in
the longer-maturity part of the intermediate market. But for bonds
with maturities of 12 years or longer, the extra income for each
successive year was, in my opinion, less attractive given the level of
risk inherent in longer-term bonds. Another key strategy was that I
kept the fund's duration, which measures its sensitivity to changing
interest rates, neutral relative to the Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year
Municipal Bond Index. By doing so, the fund avoids getting whipsawed
by becoming bullish or bearish about the direction of interest rates
at the wrong time.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FUND'S BEST PERFORMERS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund's holdings in bonds issued in the state of New York were
winners. The state's finances improved, driven in part by the strength
of the securities industry, an important contributor to New York's tax
revenues. In recognition of this improvement, Standard & Poor's - one
of the municipal bond credit rating agencies - upgraded the credit
rating of some of the state's agencies, which was a positive
development for the prices of the fund's agency holdings. Likewise,
general obligation bonds issued by New York City also performed well
as the city's economy continued to expand. Additionally, bonds issued
by the Massachusetts Industrial Finance Agency on
behalf of Massachusetts Biomedical Research Corp. rose in value
because more investors became better-informed about its positive
financial performance.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The return from one of the fund's student loan bonds was
disappointing when prepayments - which rise as borrowers pay back
their loans early - came in a little bit higher than expected.
However, I continued to maintain a fairly heavy weighting in these
bonds because they generally offer attractive yields. With input from
Fidelity's research team, I try to pick student loan bonds that I
think will be prepaid more slowly.
Q. DURING THE PAST YEAR, THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE FUND'S ELECTRIC
UTILITY REVENUE POSITION. GIVEN THAT THE ELECTRIC INDUSTRY IS UNDER
PRESSURE FROM THE THREAT OF INCREASED COMPETITION, WHAT FACTORS DO YOU
LOOK FOR WHEN SELECTING THESE BONDS?
A. The electric utility industry is in the early stages of a
transformation from an environment where electric providers enjoy
monopolistic strongholds on a given service area to one where
competition will reign. With that in mind, I have focused on two types
of electric utilities: those that are well-prepared to deal with
increased competition; or those that I believe can meet competitive
challenges down the road but have been severely and unduly penalized
by the market today because of uncertainty surrounding future
deregulation.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. During the past several years, the amount of outstanding municipal
bonds has shrunk considerably. In the first half of 1997, the low
supply helped the municipal market outperform the taxable bond market.
I expect supply will increase next year. The question is, will there
be enough demand to digest that supply? In my view, that will depend
on how investors perceive the attractiveness of municipals relative to
other fixed-income alternatives and especially to equity investments.

DAVID MURPHY ON MUNICIPAL
BOND SUPPLY:
"THE SUPPLY OF MUNICIPAL BONDS IS AN
IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THEIR
PERFORMANCE. DURING THE PAST SIX
MONTHS, INTEREST RATES HAVE DECLINED
FAIRLY SIGNIFICANTLY. FALLING INTEREST
RATES PROMPTED MUNICIPAL BOND
ISSUERS TO REFUND, OR REFINANCE,
THEIR OLDER DEBT AT CURRENT LOW
INTEREST RATES, MUCH IN THE SAME
FASHION THAT HOMEOWNERS REFINANCE
THEIR MORTGAGES WHEN THEY SEE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO LOWER THEIR INTEREST
COSTS. AS A RESULT OF A RECENT INCREASE
IN THE SUPPLY OF MUNICIPAL BONDS,
THEIR PRICES TENDED TO LAG U.S.
TREASURIES DURING THE FINAL MONTHS
OF THE PERIOD. IF INTEREST RATES STAY AT
CURRENT LOW LEVELS, OR FALL FURTHER, I
THINK THAT THE SUPPLY OF ISSUED
MUNICIPAL BONDS WILL CONTINUE TO
EXPAND, PERHAPS DRAMATICALLY. THIS
WOULD, IN MY OPINION, LEAD TO FURTHER
UNDERPERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO U.S.
TREASURIES. BUT IF THERE IS A
SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN THE U.S. STOCK
MARKET, MORE INVESTMENT DOLLARS
COULD BE RE-ALLOCATED TO MUNICIPAL
BONDS."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1997
10. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund(the fund) is a
fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VI(the trust) and is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its
distribution plan. The fund commenced sale of Class C shares on
November 3, 1997. Interest income, realized and unrealized capital
gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain
fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata
basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to
the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares differs in its
respective distribution, transfer agent, registration, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which permit management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/ or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the, trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
between the funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are borne by Class C and amortized over
one year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends
and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for futures transactions, capital loss carryforwards and
losses deferred due to futures. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in
the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
11. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund may invest in the
Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by FMR Texas Inc.,
an affiliate of (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in high-quality, short-term
municipal securities of various states and municipalities. Income
distributions from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions received by the fund
are recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial
statements.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying
securities is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market values of the securities purchased on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in
the purchase of a when-issued security. With respect to purchase
commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its
custodial records with a value at least equal to the amount of the
commitment. The payables and receivables
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES - CONTINUED
associated with the purchases and sales of when-issued securities
having the same settlement date and broker are offset. When-issued
securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers
are reflected as both payables and receivables in the statement of
assets and liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses
may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying
securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract,
or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political,
economic, or other factors.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates .
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess
of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open
futures contracts at period end is shown in the schedule of
investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under
the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration
or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at
the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
12. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $11,608,485 and $22,805,234, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $11,482,118 and $10,292,684, respectively.
13. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as
they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. For the period,
the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .39% of average
net assets .
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. This fee is based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .15%
CLASS T .25%
CLASS B .90%*
CLASS C 1.00%**
* .65% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A
SHAREHOLDER SERVICE FEE.
** .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial

Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay
administrative and promotional expenses related to the sale of each
class' shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third parties that
assist in the sale of each class' shares or render shareholder support
services.
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% for
selling Class A shares (3.25% prior to August 1, 1997), and 2.75% for
selling Class T shares of the fund, respectively. FDC receives the
proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class B share
redemptions occurring within three years of purchase and Class C share
redemptions occuring within one year of purchase. Contingent deferred
sales charges are based on declining rates ranging from 3% to 1% for
Class B and 1% for Class C, of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VI and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities
of Fidelity Advisor Series VI: Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal
Income Fund, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of
November 30, 1997, and the related statement of operations for the
year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights of
Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T, and Institutional Class for each
of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 1997 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Fidelity Advisor Series VI: Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund as of November 30, 1997, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T, and
Institutional Class for each of the periods indicated therein, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although financial turmoil in Pacific Basin countries was a catalyst
for significant volatility in U.S. markets in late October and into
November, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index has risen more than 31%
year-to-date, almost three times its historical annual average.
Meanwhile, bond markets - primarily influenced by a relatively steady
flow of positive news on the inflation front - continued to post solid
returns through the first 11 months of 1997.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
ADVISOR SHORT-INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual
percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance. The initial offering of Class A shares
took place on September 3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee
that is reflected in returns after September 3, 1996. Returns prior to
September 3, 1996 are those of Class T, the original class of the
fund, and reflect Class T's 0.15% 12b-1 fee. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns and dividends
would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, and since the fund
started on March 16, 1994. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in
a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class A's returns to the
performance of the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year Municipal Bond Index - a
total return benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with
maturities between one and five years. To measure how Class A's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
short-intermediate municipal debt funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. The past one year average represents a peer
group of 33 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
- - Class A on March 31, 1994, shortly after the fund started, and the
current maximum 1.50% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by
November 30, 1997, the value of the investment would have grown to
$11,750 - a 17.50% increase on the initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a total return
performance benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with
maturities of at least one year - did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $13,246 - a 32.46% increase.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average net asset
value of $10.19 over the past one month, $10.18 over the past six
months and $10.15 over the past one year, you can compare the class'
income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period.
The offering share price used in the calculation of the yield includes
the effect of Class A's maximum 1.50% sales charge. The tax-equivalent
yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable investment to
equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in the 36% federal tax
bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal alternative
minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain
class expenses, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would have been
3.22% and 5.03%, respectively.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
With investor sentiment, shifting supply/
demand conditions and Federal
Reserve Board policymaking playing
key roles, municipal bonds performed
more or less in line with their taxable
counterparts for the 12 months that
ended November 30, 1997. The
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
municipal bond market - returned
7.17%, while the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a barometer
of the taxable bond market - returned
7.55%. Through much of the first half
of the period, the supply/demand
scenario within the muni market was
favorable: low supply and high
demand that led to rising municipal
bond prices. The second half,
however, saw a large amount of new
issuance come to market, and while
demand remained strong, it took time
for investors to become acclimated to
this new supply. In the interim, muni
bond prices fell. The cold months of
winter contrasted with what many felt
was an overheating economy ripe for
an inflation appearance. In late March,
the Federal Reserve Board raised a
key short-term interest rate by 0.25%.
While this move was anticipated by
investors, the market nonetheless
reacted negatively. From April through
mid-September, market conditions
were more friendly. Favorable
economic data soothed inflationary
concerns, while the Fed's reluctance
to raise rates further was another
positive influence. High supply and
low demand resulted in a sub-par
performance for muni bonds in
September and October, but Asian
volatility toward the end of the period
changed momentum. Currency
devaluations meant prices of Asian
goods would become cheaper, further
decreasing the likelihood of inflation.
An interview with Norm Lind, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the 12-month period that ended November 30, 1997, the fund's
Class A and Class T shares had total returns of 4.28% and 4.37%. To
get a sense of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the
short-intermediate municipal debt funds average returned 4.39% for the
same 12-month period, according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Additionally, the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year Municipal Bond Index
returned 4.83% for the same one-year period.
Q. HAVE YOU ALTERED YOUR STRATEGY DURING THE YEAR?
A. Yes, in one sense. Early in the year, the fund had significant
holdings in bonds with maturities of between one and four years.
During that period, the demand for these bonds was strong, helping
them to generally outperform other securities in the
short-intermediate part of the municipal market. But by mid-year, I
sold some of those bonds and replaced them with bonds maturing in five
to seven years. As the municipal bond market rallied in the summer and
fall, these bonds performed better than shorter-term securities,
helping the fund's performance. Despite these alterations, I kept the
fund's duration - which is a measure of the fund's sensitivity to
interest rate changes - "neutral" relative to the short-intermediate
part of the municipal bond market, as represented by the Lehman
Brothers index. By that, I mean that the fund wasn't any more or any
less sensitive to changes in interest rates than the index. When I
bought the longer-term five- to seven-year holdings - which are more
sensitive to interest-rate changes than shorter-term bonds - I offset
them with securities that matured in less than one year, thereby
keeping the fund's duration in line with the market as a whole.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FUND'S BEST PERFORMERS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Some of the fund's biggest winners throughout the year were bonds
with credit ratings of Baa - as judged by Moody's Investors Service -
which were boosted by favorable supply and demand conditions. Because
Baa-rated bonds typically offer the highest yields among municipal
bonds deemed "investment-grade," demand for them was strong.
Alternatively, the supply of these bonds was limited. As I've
discussed in previous reports to shareholders, roughly half of all
municipal bonds issued are insured and carry credit ratings of Aaa.
Consequently, only a small portion of bonds issued during the past
year had Baa-ratings. The upshot was that Baa bond prices generally
rose as investors were forced to vie for a limited number of them.
Some of the fund's best-performing Baa-rated bonds were those issued
by New York City, which benefited from the same trends that benefited
the Baa-rated sector as well as from the city's strong economy and
improved fiscal situation.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. My disappointments were not a result of what I owned, but from not
owning more of some of the stronger performers. For example, bonds
issued in California generally performed well during the period. While
the fund did benefit from its California holdings, it didn't fully
participate in their rally by having more invested there.
Q. WHICH SECTORS OF THE MUNICIPAL MARKET WERE ATTRACTIVE DURING THE
PERIOD?
A. I continued to like general obligation bonds (G0s), which are
backed by the full faith and credit - including the taxing power - of
the issuer - be it a city, county or state. GOs are repaid by general
revenues, includings taxes, and as such tend to do well when the
economy is strong and tax receipts rise. That's exactly what happened
with New York City bonds. In addition, the fund had a relatively large
stake, compared to the overall municipal market, in education bonds.
Most of the fund's education bonds were student loan securities that
offered attractive yields relative to other bonds with comparable
credit ratings and maturities.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
A. As always, the direction of interest rates will be the primary
factor determining the performance of municipal bonds. At present, it
doesn't appear that the market has any firm conviction about whether
interest rates are headed higher or lower. Many observers argue that
recent economic and fiscal problems in Southeast Asia ultimately will
slow the U.S. economy enough to ward off future interest-rate hikes.
Others argue that the economy is still strong enough to prompt the
Federal Reserve Board to raise interest rates as a guard against
inflation. Until those countervailing trends are reconciled, I expect
we'll see some continued volatility in the bond markets.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT REFLECT THOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO
MANAGER ONLY THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD OF THE REPORT AS STATED ON

ON MARKET AND OTHER CONDITIONS.
NORM LIND ON MUNICIPAL SUPPLY:
"The amount of new municipal
bonds in a given period can be an
important factor in determining the
market's performance. New-issue
supply has declined over the past
several years and has helped munis
outperform U.S. Treasuries during
the past year. However, if interest
rates continue to fall in 1998 as they
did in the latter portion of 1997,
more municipal issuers may
refinance their older, more
expensive debt at current lower
interest rates, or issue new debt.
Those actions effectively would
increase municipal supply. On the
other hand, if interest rates stay at
current levels or rise, I would
expect supply to remain fairly
stable."

19. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (the fund)
is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VI (the trust) and is authorized
to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class shares, each
of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each
class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution
plan. Interest income, realized and unrealized capital gains and
losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level
expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each
class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net
assets of the fund. Each class of shares differs in its respective
distribution, transfer agent, registration, and certain other
class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which permit management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
between the funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends
and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for losses deferred due to futures. The fund also utilized
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of
shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax
purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in
the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
20. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund may invest in the
Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by FMR Texas Inc.,
an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash
Fund is an open-end money market fund available only to investment
companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The
Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income
by investing in high-quality, short-term municipal securities of
various states and municipalities. Income distributions from the Cash
Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net interest income.
Income distributions received by the fund are recorded as interest
income in the accompanying financial statements.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying
securities is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market values of the securities purchased on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in
the purchase of a when-issued security. With respect to purchase
commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its
custodial
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES - CONTINUED
records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment.
The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales
of when-issued securities having the same settlement date and broker
are offset. When-issued securities that have been purchased from and
sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and
receivables in the statement of assets and liabilities under the
caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the
market value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the
securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or
closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the
settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
21. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $10,461,839 and $16,922,928, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $2,323,606 and $2,322,332, respectively.
22. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .39% of average net assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. This fee is based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .15%
CLASS T .15%
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions for the distribution of each class' applicable shares,
and providing shareholder support services:
PAID TO DEALERS'
FDC PORTION
CLASS A $ 523 $ 523
CLASS T 37,068 37,068
$ 37,591 $ 37,591
Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay
administrative and promotional expenses related to the sale of each
class' shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third parties that
assist in the sale of each class' shares or render shareholder support
services.
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 1.50% for
selling Class A and Class T shares of the fund.
For the period, FDC received the following sales charge amounts
related to each class, a portion of which is paid to securities,
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions:
PAID TO DEALERS'
FDC PORTION
CLASS A $ 1,921 $ 1,596
CLASS T 44,628 21,694
$ 46,549 $ 23,290
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the
custodian, transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class shares. UMB has
entered into a sub-arrangement with Fidelity Investments Institutional
Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC) with respect to all classes of the
fund to perform the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder
servicing agent functions. FIIOC an affiliate of FMR, receives account
fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and
type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the
fund. All fees are paid to FIIOC by UMB, which is reimbursed by each
class for such payments.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED

28. PROPOSED REORGANIZATION.
The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal
Income Fund has approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
("Agreement") between the fund and Fidelity Advisor Intermediate
Municipal Income Fund ("Reorganization"). The Agreement provides for
the transfer of all of the assets of the fund to Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund in exchange solely for the number
of shares of Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class of Fidelity
Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund having the same relative
net asset value as the outstanding shares of Class A, Class T, and
Institutional Class of the fund as of the close of business of the
New York Stock Exchange on the day that the Reorganization is
effective and the assumption by Fidelity Advisor Intermediate
Municipal Income Fund of all of the liabilities of the fund. The
Reorganization can be consummated only if, among other things, it is
approved by the vote of a majority (as defined by the 1940 Act) of
outstanding voting securities of the fund. A Special Meeting of
Shareholders ("Meeting") of the fund will be held on May 4, 1998 to
vote on the Agreement. A detailed description of the proposed
transaction and voting information will be sent to shareholders of the
fund in March, 1998. If the Agreement is approved at the Meeting, the
Reorganization is expected to become effective on or about May 28,
1998.
Effective January 1, 1998, Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class
shares are no longer available for purchase or exchange to new
accounts pending the proposed reorganization. However, existing
shareholders of the Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class can
continue to purchase shares of the class which they currently hold.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VI and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities
of Fidelity Advisor Series VI: Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate
Municipal Income Fund, including the schedule of portfolio
investments, as of November 30, 1997, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the
financial highlights of Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class for
each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 1997 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Fidelity Advisor Series VI: Fidelity Advisor
Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund as of November 30, 1997, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights of Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class for
each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although financial turmoil in Pacific Basin countries was a catalyst
for significant volatility in U.S. markets in late October and into
November, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index has risen more than 31%
year-to-date, almost three times its historical annual average.
Meanwhile, bond markets - primarily influenced by a relatively steady
flow of positive news on the inflation front - continued to post solid
returns through the first 11 months of 1997.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
ADVISOR SHORT-INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND -
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual
percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance. The initial offering of Institutional
Class shares took place on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class shares
are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee.
Returns prior to July 3, 1995 are those of Class T, the original class
of the fund, and reflect Class T's 0.15% 12b-1 fee. If Fidelity had
not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns and dividends
would have been lower.

$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of
your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the Institutional
Class' returns to the performance of the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year
Municipal Bond Index - a total return benchmark for investment-grade
municipal bonds with maturities between one and five years. To measure
how Institutional Class' performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the short-intermediate municipal debt funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past one year average
represents a peer group of 33 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
- - Institutional Class on March 31, 1994, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by November 30, 1997, the value of the
investment would have grown to $11,966 - a 19.66% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index - a total return performance benchmark for
investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of at least one year
- - did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $13,246 -
a 32.46% increase.

value of $10.20 over the past one month, $10.19 over the past six
months and $10.16 over the past one year, you can compare the class'
income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period.
The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a
taxable investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in
the 36% federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the
federal alternative minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain class expenses, the yield and tax-equivalent yield
would have been 3.37% and 5.27%, respectively.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
With investor sentiment, shifting supply/
demand conditions and Federal
Reserve Board policymaking playing
key roles, municipal bonds performed
more or less in line with their taxable
counterparts for the 12 months that
ended November 30, 1997. The
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
municipal bond market - returned
7.17%, while the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a barometer
of the taxable bond market - returned
7.55%. Through much of the first half
of the period, the supply/demand
scenario within the muni market was
favorable: low supply and high
demand that led to rising municipal
bond prices. The second half,
however, saw a large amount of new
issuance come to market, and while
demand remained strong, it took time
for investors to become acclimated to
this new supply. In the interim, muni
bond prices fell. The cold months of
winter contrasted with what many felt
was an overheating economy ripe for
an inflation appearance. In late March,
the Federal Reserve Board raised a
key short-term interest rate by 0.25%.
While this move was anticipated by
investors, the market nonetheless
reacted negatively. From April through
mid-September, market conditions
were more friendly. Favorable
economic data soothed inflationary
concerns, while the Fed's reluctance
to raise rates further was another
positive influence. High supply and
low demand resulted in a sub-par
performance for muni bonds in
September and October, but Asian
volatility toward the end of the period
changed momentum. Currency
devaluations meant prices of Asian
goods would become cheaper, further
decreasing the likelihood of inflation.
An interview with Norm Lind, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the 12-month period that ended November 30, 1997, the fund's
Institutional Class shares had a total return of 4.52%. To get a sense
of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the
short-intermediate municipal debt funds average returned 4.39% for the
same 12-month period, according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Additionally, the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year Municipal Bond Index
returned 4.83% for the same one-year period.
Q. HAVE YOU ALTERED YOUR STRATEGY DURING THE YEAR?
A. Yes, in one sense. Early in the year, the fund had significant
holdings in bonds with maturities of between one and four years.
During that period, the demand for these bonds was strong, helping
them to generally outperform other securities in the
short-intermediate part of the municipal market. But by mid-year, I
sold some of those bonds and replaced them with bonds maturing in five
to seven years. As the municipal bond market rallied in the summer and
fall, these bonds performed better than shorter-term securities,
helping the fund's performance. Despite these alterations, I kept the
fund's duration - which is a measure of the fund's sensitivity to
interest rate changes - "neutral" relative to the short-intermediate
part of the municipal bond market, as represented by the Lehman
Brothers index. By that, I mean that the fund wasn't any more or any
less sensitive to changes in interest rates than the index. When I
bought the longer-term five- to seven-year holdings - which are more
sensitive to interest-rate changes than shorter-term bonds - I offset
them with securities that matured in less than one year, thereby
keeping the fund's duration in line with the market as a whole.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FUND'S BEST PERFORMERS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Some of the fund's biggest winners throughout the year were bonds
with credit ratings of Baa - as judged by Moody's Investors Service -
which were boosted by favorable supply and demand conditions. Because
Baa-rated bonds typically offer the highest yields among municipal
bonds deemed "investment-grade," demand for them was strong.
Alternatively, the supply of these bonds was limited. As I've
discussed in previous reports to shareholders, roughly half of all
municipal bonds issued are insured and carry credit ratings of Aaa.
Consequently, only a small portion of bonds issued during the past
year had Baa-ratings. The upshot was that Baa bond prices generally
rose as investors were forced to vie for a limited number of them.
Some of the fund's best-performing Baa-rated bonds were those issued
by New York City, which benefited from the same trends that benefited
the Baa-rated sector as well as from the city's strong economy and
improved fiscal situation.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. My disappointments were not a result of what I owned, but from not
owning more of some of the stronger performers. For example, bonds
issued in California generally performed well during the period. While
the fund did benefit from its California holdings, it didn't fully
participate in their rally by having more invested there.
Q. WHICH SECTORS OF THE MUNICIPAL MARKET WERE ATTRACTIVE DURING THE
PERIOD?
A. I continued to like general obligation bonds (G0s), which are
backed by the full faith and credit - including the taxing power - of
the issuer - be it a city, county or state. GOs are repaid by general
revenues, includings taxes, and as such tend to do well when the
economy is strong and tax receipts rise. That's exactly what happened
with New York City bonds. In addition, the fund had a relatively large
stake, compared to the overall municipal market, in education bonds.
Most of the fund's education bonds were student loan securities that
offered attractive yields relative to other bonds with comparable
credit ratings and maturities.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
A. As always, the direction of interest rates will be the primary
factor determining the performance of municipal bonds. At present, it
doesn't appear that the market has any firm conviction about whether
interest rates are headed higher or lower. Many observers argue that
recent economic and fiscal problems in Southeast Asia ultimately will
slow the U.S. economy enough to ward off future interest-rate hikes.
Others argue that the economy is still strong enough to prompt the
Federal Reserve Board to raise interest rates as a guard against
inflation. Until those countervailing trends are reconciled, I expect
we'll see some continued volatility in the bond markets.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT REFLECT THOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO
MANAGER ONLY THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD OF THE REPORT AS STATED ON
THE COVER. THE MANAGER'S VIEWS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME BASED
ON MARKET AND OTHER CONDITIONS.
NORM LIND ON MUNICIPAL SUPPLY:
"The amount of new municipal
bonds in a given period can be an
important factor in determining the
market's performance. New-issue
supply has declined over the past
several years and has helped munis
outperform U.S. Treasuries during
the past year. However, if interest
rates continue to fall in 1998 as they
did in the latter portion of 1997,
more municipal issuers may
refinance their older, more
expensive debt at current lower
interest rates, or issue new debt.
Those actions effectively would
increase municipal supply. On the
other hand, if interest rates stay at
current levels or rise, I would
expect supply to remain fairly
stable."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1997
29. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (the fund)
is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VI (the trust) and is authorized
to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class shares, each
of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each
class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution
plan. Interest income, realized and unrealized capital gains and
losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level
expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each
class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net
assets of the fund. Each class of shares differs in its respective
distribution, transfer agent, registration, and certain other
class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which permit management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
between the funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends
and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for losses deferred due to futures. The fund also utilized
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of
shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax
purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in
the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
30. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund may invest in the
Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by FMR Texas Inc.,
an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash
Fund is an open-end money market fund available only to investment
companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The
Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income
by investing in high-quality, short-term municipal securities of
various states and municipalities. Income distributions from the Cash
Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net interest income.
Income distributions received by the fund are recorded as interest
income in the accompanying financial statements.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying
securities is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market values of the securities purchased on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in
the purchase of a when-issued security. With respect to purchase
commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its
custodial
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES - CONTINUED
records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment.
The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales
of when-issued securities having the same settlement date and broker
are offset. When-issued securities that have been purchased from and
sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and
receivables in the statement of assets and liabilities under the
caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the
market value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the
securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or
closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the
settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
31. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $10,461,839 and $16,922,928, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $2,323,606 and $2,322,332, respectively.
32. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .39% of average net assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. This fee is based on the following annual rates of
the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .15%
CLASS T .15%
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions for the distribution of each class' applicable shares,
and providing shareholder support services:
PAID TO DEALERS'
FDC PORTION
CLASS A $ 523 $ 523
CLASS T 37,068 37,068
$ 37,591 $ 37,591
Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay
administrative and promotional expenses related to the sale of each
class' shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third parties that
assist in the sale of each class' shares or render shareholder support
services.
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 1.50% for
selling Class A and Class T shares of the fund.
For the period, FDC received the following sales charge amounts
related to each class, a portion of which is paid to securities,
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions:
PAID TO DEALERS'
FDC PORTION
CLASS A $ 1,921 $ 1,596
CLASS T 44,628 21,694
$ 46,549 $ 23,290
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the
custodian, transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class shares. UMB has
entered into a sub-arrangement with Fidelity Investments Institutional
Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC) with respect to all classes of the
fund to perform the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder
servicing agent functions. FIIOC an affiliate of FMR, receives account
fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and
type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the
fund. All fees are paid to FIIOC by UMB, which is reimbursed by each
class for such payments.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED

38. PROPOSED REORGANIZATION.
The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal
Income Fund has approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
("Agreement") between the fund and Fidelity Advisor Intermediate
Municipal Income Fund ("Reorganization"). The Agreement provides for
the transfer of all of the assets of the fund to Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund in exchange solely for the number
of shares of Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class of Fidelity
Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund having the same relative
net asset value as the outstanding shares of Class A, Class T, and
Institutional Class of the fund as of the close of business of the
New York Stock Exchange on the day that the Reorganization is
effective and the assumption by Fidelity Advisor Intermediate
Municipal Income Fund of all of the liabilities of the fund. The
Reorganization can be consummated only if, among other things, it is
approved by the vote of a majority (as defined by the 1940 Act) of
outstanding voting securities of the fund. A Special Meeting of
Shareholders ("Meeting") of the fund will be held on May 4, 1998 to
vote on the Agreement. A detailed description of the proposed
transaction and voting information will be sent to shareholders of the
fund in March, 1998. If the Agreement is approved at the Meeting, the
Reorganization is expected to become effective on or about May 28,
1998.
Effective January 1, 1998, Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class
shares are no longer available for purchase or exchange to new
accounts pending the proposed reorganization. However, existing
shareholders of the Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class can
continue to purchase shares of the class which they currently hold.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VI and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities
of Fidelity Advisor Series VI: Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate
Municipal Income Fund, including the schedule of portfolio
investments, as of November 30, 1997, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the
financial highlights of Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class for
each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 1997 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Fidelity Advisor Series VI: Fidelity Advisor
Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund as of November 30, 1997, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights of Class A, Class T, and Institutional Class for
each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
